I am a post-doc ex)situ, INRIA Saclay and Universite Paris-Saclay. I just finished my PhD under the supervision of Wendy Mackay. My research focuses on enhancing mobile interaction by leveraging human ability and motor control to perceive and to produce rich data. During my master, I worked at in|situ, LRI with Caroline Appert and Olivier Chapuis. Afterwards, I worked as a research assistant at NUS HCI Lab with Shengdong Zhao.
